Edgerton Travel Guide

Welcome to Edgerton!

Surrounded by gently rolling hills close to the Saskatchewan border in east-central Alberta lies a small village called Edgerton. At the beginning of the 20th century, settlers moved to the area with the construction of railway tracks in 1908 and two years later the first school was built, followed by a church. The area's fertile land was ideal for farming and continues to sustain Edgerton's thriving agricultural-based economy as well as the village's beautiful, blooming gardens and green, leafy parks. Summer is the best time for visitors to discover all that Edgerton has to offer. The Edgerton Museum hosts the annual Antique Tractor Show and the village positively buzzes during the Edgerton Sports Days and Agricultural Bench Show. Residents and visitors alike enjoy taking a swing in the sun at the Edgerton Golf Course or at the nearby Arm Lake Recreation Area, which is also popular for fishing, swimming and camping. During winter, most of the community can be found at the curling rink and hockey arena enjoying heated competition at regular tournaments and bonspiels.
